Hi everybody,
I hv been asked by my boss to do a little research on the AIR in our company. I need advice as where to start as there r only 108 staff currently working on this site.
I hv got the formula to calculate the AIR and am not sure if I should use it due to the size of our company.
I hv just become the Quality Controller of the company and am still new to all these.
Thanks

May,
Send me an email explaining why you don't think it applies in your company, and where you got your formula from, and I will discuss the issue to see if you want to go down that route or not.
We use frequency and occurrence rates as Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) but to be honest, it is usually make-work for benchmarking and responding to client requests. However, you can use it as a measure of whether reported safety incidents are declining (or prove that reporting-avoidance measures are becoming more effective!).

Hi Sean,
I hv been doing my own little 'research' on the formula to this calculation. Some use 100,000 as their multiplier while others use 1,000.
And u hv guessed it right, I hv to do this as a request fr a client, but at the end of the day, I need to set a proper system to continue monitoring all these in future.
By the way, how do I get your email add fr the chat forum?
My boss has registered me for training, so meanwhile, I would get my way round by surfing on the net.

Hi everybody,
I hv finished calculating the AIR for my site and just joined the HSE to get the national statistics. I counted my no. of accidents fr Jan-Dec each year and hv just found out that HSE goes by one year/next year(ie. 2004/2005). Am I supposed to do it by June one year/May next year(ie June 2004/May 2005)? Need feedbacks. Thanks May

MAy,
It all comes down to what YOU want the stats for. If it is for your own use then a calendar year is fine, since you have determined that is when you want to do it. If you are aligning with another source (in this case national stats) then you should really use the same periodicity, although it could be argued that over time it will all be much of a muchness since the 12 month figures will be more or less the same anyway, they are only taken from different start points. However, if you use the same reporting period then this will make it more immediately comparable and less open for criticism.

Hi Sean,
I find that my AIRs are alot higher than what's on the national stats. It's probably due to my mistake in counting. I was going by the no. of accident reports received. Am I on the right track? Thanks May

May,
You should only be including lost time incidents (LTIs) in your calcualtions - you should find that number a lot lower!
Lost time is anything where the individual is off for more than one day, so it doesn't start until the day after the incident. For example, if the individual cuts their finger and is away home but reports to work the following day, that is not an LTI. But if they received a cut on Tuesday, went home and did not return until Thursday, then that would be 1 day (Wednesday) and would qualify as 1 LTI. If they were off for a month, it would still only be 1 LTI though!
This should trim it down for you.

May,
Hi
good answer from Sean. Don't take ANY notice of me, I'm just trying to wind 'em up :
Nobody ever heard of a 12 month sliding average ? That will really show you where your coming from , and where you are going.

Is sliding avg=rolling avg? If it is, what's the purpose of practising this method? Thanks May

May,
yeah, sliding may equal rolling. It's the stats over the last 12 months. February to january, july to june. Smooths out the ups and downs.
And remember, everyone : September is the most dangerous month of the year. Be prepared (B Powell. Circa 1948)
